2014 Ride Shakedown

The Ride Shakedown presented by Videotron Mobile at Mont Saint-Sauveur, Quebec, now in its 13th year, hosted over 40 pros from around the globe to throw down for a $50,000 purse in a unique format growing in popularity among the pros and fans who attend.

"The near 15,000 people who travelled to Mont St-Sauveur on Friday and Saturday bear witness to their faith in our event. They have high expectations for our event and we are always sure to meet those expectations, if not go beyond!" said Patryck Bernier, Shakedown production staff.

"I usually ride at Park City and because there aren't a lot of contests in the area, I end up traveling a lot. This is my first time doing Shakedown and it's definitely on another level," said Jack Herald regarding the quality of contestants.

Jack's double earned himself a seat in the pro category along with Phillippe Fournier and Michel Grégoire.

Spring rolled in hard as the Rail Jam kicked off at Shakedown. $3,500 is up for grabs for one overall rider and an additional $2,000 for best trick.

Jonathan has been riding in Shakedown for the past five years with a third place podium at the Rail Jam in 2013. This year he stepped it up for the overall rail jam title and earned himself a nice $3,500 payday along with a surf trip to Punta de Mita, Mexico, where he will be staying at Hotel Cinco.

Maxence has been having an incredible year. With a long list of podiums around the world and with only a few contests left this season in Canada he is excited to have placed at Shakedown in front of his home crowd. "I've been riding in Shakedown for four years now but this is the first time I've been on the podium for the Rail Jam," said Maxence.

Although most people will never be able to pronounce his last name, Craig Gouweloos defiantly made a lasting impression with massive double 10's and 450 to switch slides on the gap to down rail. "I've spent most of my season in Breckenridge' said Craig, which has clearly has a positive impact on his riding.

You can plan for every setback but when it comes to the weather there are some things you just can't avoid. Unfortunately due to a very strong uphill wind it was too dangerous to hold the finals on Saturday night. A few riders gave it their best but when pros like Sebastien Toutant land 10 feet short of the knuckle it's a good time to call it.

In a rider's meeting, all 10 finalists also decided to split the $40,000 prize purse in equal parts. As a result, Quebec natives Justin De Castris, Philippe Fournier, Maxence Parrot, Michael Roy, Sébastien Toutant, and Marc-André Tremblay, Americans Brandon Davis, Mark Hoyt, and Seamus O'Connor, as well as Norwegian Emil Ulsletten will all leave the competition with deeper pockets, $4,000 deeper to be exact.
